if u want to look at it that way. others spend on the best they can afford while helping their LBS economy. others spend on high grade stuff so it can last a long time.

i think regardless of the bike spec, if it's ridden every weekend instead of collecting dust in the store room; it's already fully utilized.

good but lots of fake out there

as light as u can afford

why would u need a repair stand to get ur wheels on?

u don't need a stand to get the wheels on. like broadica said, just put the bike upside down on the ground. one tip i learned from a friend, if u remove both wheels and u want to get them on, mount the front wheel first but don't have to lock it just yet. then mount the rear wheel second. then only tighten the QRs.

if want a repair stand, u can get a minoura but not collapsible. if u want collapsible type, get a park tool stand. my friend sells park tool stuff if u r interested.

if u r worried about external racks, u can buy a big waterproof canvas and put inside ur car. collapse the rear seat, spread the canvas, n u r done.

sorry, forgot to mention. that tip is if u don't want to put the bike upside down on the ground. whilst holding the bike at the toptube, put the front wheel on first with the other hand, then the rear.

not canvas bag la. just a canvas/tarpaulin sheet

i use my old motorcycle outdoor cover/cancas

u can use something like this



don't forget to cover the door side panel too. i cover mine with newspaper only

last time orbea in hartamas brought in easton stuff. u might want to check with them.

schwalbe nobby nic - rodalink / bikepro / sewleong dengkil
hutchinson toro - pedalspot
panaracer fire xc pro - pedalspot
kenda nevegal - don't know where. maybe can ask others

not sure about other shops. i only list what the usual shops i frequent have. just go to the nearest LBS and see what they have.

not difficult. got money, anything can.

what's the problem with sending bikes to LBS?

good suggestion. maybe u can initiate and make one

there are guys here who do some minor maintenance themselves. just ask here, they'd reply if they know the answer. most of them learn from youtube or google. most of the time the questions already discussed in some other forums or tutorials already available.

why would ur LBS feel bothered? they don't like ur money?

some are ham-fisted. not suitable to perform maintenance on sensitive bike parts.

for some, the money would be better spent on bikes and periodical maintenance fee at the LBS. not worth to buy tools for these maintenance. have u looked at the price of those tools?
